Call for Speakers: Leadership 007

In this months’ Newletter (an abstract from the German version):

THE FUTURE OF WORK – Management, Organisation and Leadership

In 2011 we have seen people rising all over the world in search of more fairness and justice. The quest for a deeper meaning seems the determining force for Western societies. Where this meaning is not found the quota of burn-out and silent resignation is rising and leaves its imprint on the economy in the form of high financial losses. 125 Billion Euro per year is the estimated financial loss due to employees who are resigning without officially giving their final notice.

What can companies do in order to ensure enthusiasm and the will to work together for a common goal? What MUST they do? What needs to change?

In this Newsletter we want to shed light on four Top-Speakers and experts who will definitely ensure the distinctive know-how advantage to master this challenge and become even stronger as a business:

Theresa Philippi

3. THERESA PHILIPPI: developer of the Life Cycle Career Model.

Her main messages:

Currently, professional career models are linear, strict and hierarchical. They are based on the traditional stereotypes of partnership with one breadwinner and one who cares for the family. *** The workforce, however, feels an increasing need for individual, “tailor-made”, career design which allows for phases of more and less intensive work. *** The reasons are diverse: Reconciliation of work and family life such as raising small children or caring for an elder relative are the most common. Yet, there might be other reasons like the need for a sabbatical, time for additional education and many more. *** The idea of a career design in cycles would allow a more flexible management of workload, pace and hierarchical positions. *** In a cyclic career, employees should have the chance to get top positions earlier in their life, be able to (temporarily) step down and be coming around in the next phase
